Brand-new and bold on the scene, FEW Spirits' Immortal Rye marries their straight rye whiskey with an unexpected partner. After aging, the rye is brought to proof with the addition of cold-extracted 8 Immortals Oolong tea. The result is unexpected - but unexpectedly brilliant. FEW takes the sourcing of their tea as seriously as their whiskeys: 8 Immortals has its own unique Dancong oolong cultivar, which they hand-harvest and produce in small batches. With a mash bill of 70% rye, 20% corn, and 10% malted barley, there is plenty of room for nuance. The nose offers all the complexity of their straight rye, with woody spice, golden apple, and scorched sugar, imbued with subtle smoked peach qualities from the tea. The palate is layered with orange peel, grilled peach, and a slip of oak-influenced honey. Golden tropical fruit carries through the finish, which ends on a gently tannic note of oolong. Absolutely lovely on its own, on a large ice cube, or as an update on an Old Fashioned or Sidecar.
